The professionalism of this interview is impressive. Calm, open, calibrated questions rather than the usual over-excitable, leading questions that we get from Chris, nice guy as he is I’m sure!
As much as he has been a faithful servant of the club over the years, I personally can't stand listening to his interviews. It sounds like he's a primary school teacher interviewing his pupils at times. One area we need to improve on massively.The professionalism of this interview is impressive.

I find the same. I’m sure he’s a lovely man but I wish he would be less patronising and a little more probing.As much as he has been a faithful servant of the club over the years, I personally can't stand listening to his interviews.

For me his enthusiasm and love for the club gets in the way of being a good interviewer. He needs to trust the people he is interviewing rather than present them, within his questions, the answers. As has already been said, whilst with good intent, it comes across as patronizing, the equivalent of an overbearing parent trying to direct and make sure their child says the right thing to the adult!Agree here too. Not sure what it is, but he just irritates me. Sorry, Chris.
lets hope come full time on Saturday, this particular Middleton really is 'vindicated'REF WATCH
Derbyshire referee Daniel Middleton takes charge of this Saturday’s clash with Exeter City.
Middleton was promoted to the EFL in the summer of 2023. This is his second L1 fixture.

Ringpiece, more like it.I never get fed up with listening to LM, a complete contrast to the mouthpiece we had previously.
A complete breath of fresh air!
Proper Sh!t pipe of a scum bag.Ringpiece, more like it.
I would imagine that’s dependant on results and therefore the mood of the listener. I reckon if you’re on a run of bad form and bad results that he could very easily be seen as dull and inspiring, and could easily have people accusing him of being clueless and incapable of motivating a team as he’s so drab etc etc.I never get fed up with listening to LM, a complete contrast to the mouthpiece we had previously.

He's definitely taken to his media training. Calm and measured, yes, but the way he avoids answering certain questions annoys me.I never get fed up with listening to LM, a complete contrast to the mouthpiece we had previously.

What I love about this is the point he makes about being excellent every day about getting people into apartments and houses and thinking much more about the whole picture.
What?Hard to call this one. I've noticed since LM took over, from what I can recall, we rarely totally tosh - we're just disconnected with no end product - like the game is there to be won. It's a staggering thought because for all the planning they say they do for each match - to be disjointed makes you wonder what the difference is between each match. Do other teams work us out and have the confidence to play against us? I don't think we'll draw. It'll just be won of those loses.
